Vario In-Counter Steamer - 400 SeriesVK 414
The VK 414 steamer allows healthy steaming, warming, thawing, heating and simmering without losing vitamins - not only with water but also with stock or white wine. The water temperature can be regulated precisely from 100°F to 200°F and the electronic steam control saves energy as only the amount of steam needed is actually generated. Two cooking inserts can be used for simultaneously steaming different foods while ensuring that the taste of one is not transferred to the other. A glass cover ensures good visibility.

With the new Vario 400 Series modular cooktops, multiple solutions are available to fit each individual's taste. For the first time ever, the grill, Teppan Yaki, steamer or deep fryer can be freely be combined with induction or gas cooktops in 15" and 36" widths to create a beautifully-styled unit.

The new Vario 400 Series can be surface or flush mounted thanks to the precision crafting of 1/8" stainless steel.

Overhead hood, retractable AL 400 or VL 414 downdraft ventilation may be used with the Vario 400 Series.
